Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste methanol purification, and specifically provides a recovery method and device for purifying waste methanol by atmospheric distillation. Background Art

[0002] Methanol is an important basic chemical raw material and an excellent solvent, with wide applications. Since methanol is miscible with water and miscible with a variety of organic solvents, a large amount of waste methanol is generated during production, preparation, and use. The main sources of generation are processes such as cleaning, decontamination, dilution, and extraction in industrial production. For example, the waste methanol generated in workshops such as trihydroxy and insulating resin mainly contains water, methanol, and a small amount of organic impurities. Due to the flammable, corrosive, volatile, or reactive properties of methanol, it is listed in the hazardous waste list. However, a large amount of useful components are contained in waste methanol. Through recovery and treatment, it can be extracted, purified, and reused to achieve resource reuse. As a by-product, selling it directly has a relatively low price. Moreover, if these waste methanol are not recycled, it will cause resource waste and environmental pollution;

[0003] In this regard, Chinese Patent Application No.: 201810806922.X discloses a rectification adsorption purification process for waste methanol, belonging to the technical field of material purification and recovery. It is characterized in that the high-NH3 waste methanol generated in the methanol circulation process of low-temperature methanol washing enters a preheater for preheating. The high-NH3 waste methanol is rectified and separated in a rectification tower. A mixture of NH3, H2S, and methanol is obtained from the top of the rectification tower, and low-NH3 methanol is obtained at the bottom of the rectification tower. The mixture is cooled by a condenser and then enters a buffer tank. The gas phase enters an adsorption reactor to remove hydrogen sulfide therein. The high-ammonia methanol coming out of the buffer tank and the high-ammonia methanol coming out of the adsorption reactor are mixed and output as waste methanol from the waste methanol discharge pipe;

[0028] 2. By setting up a filtration tank, a settling tank and a transfer tank, it is convenient to conduct corresponding pre-filtration before purifying waste methanol, such as a bag filter or a cartridge filter, to remove solid impurities in the waste methanol, such as metal chips, dust, etc., to prevent them from entering subsequent equipment, affecting the rectification effect or damaging the equipment.

Utilizing the principles of acid-base neutralization, azeotrope destruction and boiling point difference, it is convenient for subsequent purification of waste methanol. Subsequently, it is heated to a corresponding temperature through a steam heating pipe and a steam medium circulation and transportation component. By driving the stirring of the stirring component and the scraping component by a driving component, the rectification operation becomes more convenient and efficient.

[0030] 4. While the above structural design is carried out, after rectification by the rectification column, it is condensed and liquefied in the condenser.

Detailed implementation manners

[0041] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-8, an embodiment provided by the present invention: a method and device for recovering waste methanol by atmospheric distillation and purification, including a reaction kettle 100, a rectifying column tower 110 is connected above the reaction kettle 100, a condenser 120 is connected above the rectifying column tower 110, a reflux tank 160 is connected below the condenser 120, one end of the reflux tank 160 is connected to the rectifying column tower 110, and the other end of the reflux tank 160 is connected to a storage tank 170. A transfer tank 130 is connected to the side of the reaction kettle 100, a static tank 140 is connected to the side of the transfer tank 130, and a filter tank 150 is connected to the side of the static tank 140. A discharge treatment tank 180 is connected to the bottom of the reaction kettle 100;

[0043] It also includes the following steps:

[0044] S1. Filtration: During pretreatment, the waste methanol solution is introduced into the filter tank 150, and the solid impurities in the waste methanol are first filtered out, that is, the solid slag foreign matter impurities in the waste are first removed through the corresponding filter components, which is convenient for pretreatment of the waste methanol generated in the company's trihydroxy, insulating resin and other workshops, and it mainly contains water, methanol and a small amount of organic impurities;

[0045] S2. Static settlement: During pretreatment, the waste methanol filtered in S1 is transferred to the static tank 140 and left to stand for a period of time, so that the water and some organic impurities with a larger density in the waste methanol naturally settle and separate from methanol. Then, the lower-layer water and impurities are discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the static tank 140, and the pretreated waste methanol is discharged to the inside of the transfer tank 130 through the side of the static tank 140, so as to transfer and store the pretreated waste methanol inside the transfer tank 130 for subsequent use and pumping;

[0046] S3. Feeding: The pretreated waste methanol is transported to the reaction kettle 100 connected to the rectifying column tower 110, and at the same time, the corresponding liquid alkali solution is added and stirred, so as to facilitate the separation of impurities, adjustment of pH value and auxiliary rectification through the principles of acid-base neutralization, azeotrope destruction and boiling point difference;

[0047] S4. Heating: Hot steam is introduced into the steam pipeline inside the reaction kettle 100 to heat the inside of the reaction kettle 100, and the temperature is slowly raised to 70-80 °C. The corresponding heat is circulated and supplied to the inside of the steam heating pipe 200 through the corresponding steam medium circulation and delivery component 201 for heating, so as to reach the boiling point required for methanol evaporation;

[0048] S5. Separation: The methanol that reaches the boiling point and evaporates enters the interior of the rectifying column 110 successively from the top of the reaction kettle 100, and is rectified and stripped through the corresponding structure inside the rectifying column 110. That is, after the steam enters from the bottom of the rectifying column 110, when the rising gas phase contacts the descending liquid phase, due to the temperature difference and concentration difference, a mass transfer and heat transfer process will occur. The high-boiling components in the gas phase, such as water and organic impurities, will partially condense and enter the liquid phase, while the low-boiling component methanol in the liquid phase will partially vaporize and enter the gas phase. This process continues, making the concentration of methanol in the gas phase gradually increase. Subsequently, by utilizing the difference in volatility of each component, the methanol in the liquid phase is vaporized and rises as much as possible by heating. In the stripping section, the rising steam and the descending liquid phase carry out mass transfer and heat transfer, enabling the methanol in the liquid phase to continuously vaporize and enter the gas phase, thereby increasing the recovery rate of methanol;

[0049] S6. Reflux: Wait until there is a reflux phenomenon at the start of the reaction. After refluxing and washing the rectifying system for half an hour, start setting the reflux ratio to batch-collect methanol and heavy components. That is, the methanol condensed by the condenser 120 flows back into the reflux tank 160, and then is respectively refluxed to the upper part of the rectifying column 110 and part is taken out and stored inside the storage tank 170. That is, the cold liquid methanol condensed by the condenser 120 flows back to the top of the rectifying column 110, providing a stable liquid-phase reflux for the rectifying column 110, thereby maintaining the gas-liquid balance and stable separation effect inside the rectifying column 110; The reflux liquid serves as the descending liquid phase and fully carries out mass transfer and heat transfer with the rising gas phase in the rectifying section, enabling the rectifying process to continue effectively;

[0050] S7. Detection: Use relevant detection equipment to detect indicators such as acidity, moisture, and gas phase of each batch of methanol after purification and rectification, conduct detection and analysis on the above-mentioned extracted products, and use instruments such as gas chromatographs to detect indicators such as the purity, water content, and content of organic impurities of methanol to ensure that the product quality meets the standard requirements;

[0051] S8. Cleaning: Treat the waste liquid at the bottom of the reaction kettle 100 and discharge it into the discharge treatment tank 180 for subsequent treatment and clean the relevant equipment; The residual liquid contains water and a small amount of organic impurities that have not been completely separated. According to the nature and composition of the residual liquid, adopt appropriate methods for treatment. If the organic impurities in the residual liquid have recycling value, other separation methods can be further used for recycling; If the residual liquid has no recycling value, it needs to be transported to the sewage treatment system for treatment and discharged after meeting the environmental protection discharge standards.

[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, an electric heating component 111 is wrapped around the outside of the rectification column tower 110, and a thermometer 112 is inserted and assembled on the outer wall of the rectification column tower 110.

The electric heating component 111, the thermometer 112, and the condensing medium circulation and conveying component 121 are connected to a corresponding power distribution control module for power supply control. In this way, it is convenient to control the temperature heating of the rectification column tower 110. Through the corresponding power distribution control module, it is determined whether to heat according to the digital display of the thermometer 112 to ensure the corresponding rectification temperature. At the same time, with the cooperation of the condensing medium circulation and conveying component 121, it is convenient to supply the corresponding cooling medium to the inside of the condenser 120 to ensure the condensing effect;

[0053] More specifically, in this embodiment, a reflux pump 161 and a withdrawal pump 162 are respectively connected and assembled at both ends of the reflux drum 160. The output end of the reflux pump 161 is connected to the reflux port on the upper side of the rectification column tower 110, and the output end of the withdrawal pump 162 is connected to the liquid inlet of the storage tank 170. A flow control valve 163 is assembled between the reflux drum 160 and the reflux pump 161, and a flow control valve 164 is assembled between the reflux drum 160 and the withdrawal pump 162.

The cooperation of the reflux pump 161 and the flow control valve 163, as well as the cooperation of the withdrawal pump 162 and the flow control valve 164, are used for corresponding control, making the operation more convenient;

[0054] More specifically in this embodiment, on the left and right sides of the upper part of the reactor 100, a liquid inlet pipe 101 and a feed pipe 102 are respectively fixedly provided.

The stirring component 300 surrounds the inner side of the steam heating pipe 200, and the scraping component 400 surrounds the inner and outer sides of the steam heating pipe 200.

The inner shaft 501 and the rotating cylinder 502 are inserted and assembled through bearings at the center of the top cover of the reactor 100 and extend into the reactor 100. In this way, when heating the inside of the reactor 100 by the steam heating pipe 200, it is convenient to drive the stirring component 300 and the scraping component 400 to stir through the driving component 500, so that the mixing is more uniform and the temperature heating is also more uniform, which helps with good evaporation;
